Reward Yourself!

Reward yourself for your weight loss successes along the way to your goal. There is plenty to celebrate and it will help keep you motivated on smaller goals rather than thinking success is only getting to your final goal. Reward yourself for every 5 or 10 pounds or when you reach the 10% mark. However...don't use food as a reward! Think of other ways to reward yourself. Here are some ideas.

1. Get a massage

2. Buy a new outfit (that fits your new body!)

3. Buy yourself something you have been wanting

4. Plan a day with your family or friends (or by yourself) to do something fun that does not focus on food

5. Treat yourself to a manicure/pedicure or a new hair cut

6. Buy yourself some flowers
